The weekend shift: Bitcoin, PEPE, NFTs

by James · May 13, 2023

Welcome to the 118th weekend shift!

What’s the matter? Over the weekend, we’ll update this post with some of the most interesting articles, podcasts, charts, and opinion pieces we’re too busy to write about.

OK, just crypto? Not necessarily. We do it Monday through Friday, so we try to explore new topics on the weekends.

Feel free to join and submit contributions at Twitter. Any topic is fair game.

We screwed up and we apologize.

Yesterday we shared an overview of $pepe meme coin to provide a fact-based image of a popular topic. This did not give the full picture of the meme’s history, and we apologize to the community.

I have decided to start actively trading meme coins and promising projects through my public address. Please note that I will personally bear all potential losses from these trades and all profits will be donated entirely to charity.

Block acquisition of Tidal made no sense to me; turns out that no one on the Block but @jack wanted it; He did his buddy Jay-Z a favor (at the shareholder’s expense)

Possibly the biggest offer in fixed income in 10 years. $AAPL just issued a 4.85% 40 year bond at par last Monday, 5/8. UST 30y at 3.78%. I’m actually not sure which one has a better credit profile. If you can live off an ongoing 4.8% return: happy retirement! pic.twitter.com/bs8vbz2ES5
