The Weekend Shift: Crypto, VCs, Startups

by Arthur · April 15, 2023

Welcome to the 114th 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.

I had the curtain pulled on an investment I put almost 2000 ETH into thinking it was credible because of who else was investing (don’t name anyone for privacy). Someone used our $$ like a casino game Ponzi and flushed it down the drain. Feel free to learn from this.
