A historic day! Le Et hirium Merde is finally upon us. It should from a developer standpoint be fine - lots of testnets and shadow forks have been successful.
Will we see volatility in price? Perhaps.
1/ Things are currently looking fairly flat with #Bitcoin barely holding $20k and ETH struggling to hold $1600.
It’ll be incredibly interesting to see what the sentiment is like once this big event is finally over.
2/ So many market participants have been hyper-focused on this event.
Also pretty wild about Do Kwon - pretty sad when you remember he named his daughter Luna. Lots of hard learned lessons this year.

On the daily, money flowing into Compound USDC, stETH, USDT and curiously enough SRM (Alameda just bought $5M). Flowing out of USDC, WETH and WBTC. On the weekly looks like mostly going in2 stables n WBTC and flowing out of Et Hirium.

Let's divide it into a couple of different time frames and use @RayDalio's long-term debt cycle framework
We can say that it's the end of something big, but of course, the end is a long process and it can be a decade-long process
2/ When we go down to zero interest rates and reach a massive amount of debt in the system, we usually go through some sort of currency devaluation and system change
So, it's not the end of the world but it's the end of an era!
With its #PoS chain BNB, Binance has been growing steadily
1/ BNB Chain is currently positioning itself as the third Layer 1 network just behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. By partnering with protocols such as pSTAKE, BNB Chain has continued growing and strengthening its position in the crypto market.
2/ How does pSTAKE protocol work?
The pSTAKE protocol offers a liquidity system for users, in which users contribute their native tokens, BNB, and simultaneously a token is generated within the protocol called stkBNB.
The Current Crypto Gaming Landscape is Stupid, Let’s Explore How it Could Potentially Be Not Stupid in the Future
A painfully honest letter about Crypto gaming:
✉️ 🎮 🧵👇
1/ If people were honest with themselves, they started to care about Cryptocurrency, blockchains, consensus models, or any other underlying tech and buzzwords in this space because of the financial incentive. People are hoping to strike it rich! Filthy rich. Let’s be honest.
2/ Just like the gold rushes of days long past, what we’ve witnessed over the past decade of Crypto’s history is a massively impressive speculative rush - with many having made life-changing wealth.
Oof - a higher-than-expected CPI print really came in like a bucket of cold water on the market. 8.3% YoY, 0.1% MoM vs Expected: 8.1% YoY, -0.1% MoM.
CPI being higher than what economists expected is a sign that the Fed will stay aggressive in raising interest rates n essentially guaranteeing we’ll see a 75 bps rate hike at FOMC next week. #BTC tends to move in the opposite direction of the $ n DYX spiked on today’s CPI news.
