The Weekly: Nice Mugs and Memecoin Rugs

Featured: Helena Sarin, Rizzmas, Artblocks, John Knopf, Seedphrase, Gondi, DeeZe, Tornado Cash, Cygaar, Botto, Andrew Strauss, Chimpers.
  1. Helena Sarin says there are two adjectives she dislikes being applied to her art “nice” and “lovely” — to be fair you create vases and mugs… 
  1. Scamtoken $RIZZMAS climbed to 130,000 holders in just 4 days leaving some wondering what it might mean for our other meme — nothing, it means they’re dusting wallets...
  1. After 4 years Art Blocks is “fully on-chain” — so when our generative art bags inevitably go to zero, we'll forver have the artworks as a reminder. 
  1. Photographer John Knopf was finally able to acquire his ENS after being front-run by an ENS squatter in 2021 — suppose you weren’t as notable as they had hoped.   
  1. Seedphrase received a record breaking $2.75 mil loan from Gondi, prompting Jediwolf to tweet “probably nothing” — considering his role as a Gondi investor/advisor, I’d say you're right, it is nothing.
  1. DeeZe asked “how long is too long to have the bidet sprayer on?” — you're there for a rinse, not a massage.
  1. Commenting on Tornado Cash’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeals victory, Cygaar opines that people don't understand the importance of the ruling — the announcement has 12k likes and 4k retweets, I think we understand. 
  1. Botto successfully used its AI intern “Otto” to whip DAO votes for its leaderboard favorite — I guess “decentralized autonomous artist” is really just an easily suggestible DAO.
  1. Andrew Strauss is finding himself happier selling a million artworks for a dollar than one for a million — except you’re on rodeo selling them for 0.23 cents.
  1. Chimpers is officially a top 10 collection on ETH — and to think it only took the entire ETH NFT market to collapse.
