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...

The Rug is web3’s mostly-trusted news source. If NFTs are the future of ownership, we’re the future of satire. Think The Onion, but we actually understand (and like) crypto.
Thanks to our partners at Mirror, we’re proud to offer a limited-time FREE mint of our December 2022 NFT, minting from now through December 21st.
Our content is always free, but future flagship NFTs will be collectible for a small fee. It’s like we always say:
We take money, seriously.
If you like what you see, check us out on Twitter where we share at least three fresh headlines each week and a new article from this mirror platform every Friday. Your favorite influencers are already following us with a burner and stealing our jokes.
Above is the first issue of Vol. II and as so much has happened in crypto recently, this is a veritable landmark of sorts, one worth hodling in your wallet. Think of this mint as signing up to support satirical comedy in crypto. We aim to bring you the highest quality content on a regular basis, and have a small cohort of writers “shucking a lot of oysters” to unearth a few pearls for you on twitter every week. The Rug drops headlines like:
SBF Donates 99% of Fortune Ahead of Schedule
Apple Permits NFTs as Long as They Don’t Do Shit
Top 10 Ways To Gaslight Your Family Into Forgetting What You Said About Crypto Last Thanksgiving
The Rug’s throwback newspaper-style NFT began in Nov of 2021, in the height of the Bull market. We shipped six issues straight back then, then we paused, reoriented our approach and goals, and are now starting up Vol. II. Some of our favorite headlines from Vol 1. include: US Regulators Drop Lawsuit After Celsius Changes Name to Fahrenheit, Senator Warren Opposes Uniswap, Convenes Panel to Determine Why, 64% of Adults Think Web3 is a Spiderman Sequel, and Solana Doubles Down on Decentralization, Buys 2nd Hard Drive. Not to mention our eerily accurate prediction that Bitcoin Found in Shoebox Outperforms 3AC — a month before they went under.
Laughs*
Street Cred
An awesome collectible that could be re-sold on a secondary market if you’re into that
Discord access to our token-gated Rug Lounge
Email updates for our Friday Weekly Articles and monthly NFT drops
A metaphorical badge of honor for supporting crypto & comedy in the bear winter
If you’ve minted a previous issue of The Rug – check your hidden folder on OpenSea, we’ve airdropped you a Lil’ Ruggy comic.
If you like what you see, give us a shout-out on Twitter and we’ll RT you if we think you’re funny, cute, or in need of professional help.
And remember: Friends don’t let friends miss out on getting Rugged.
*Laughs are subjective and also available without minting
