The Weekly: Pivot, Pivot, Pivot!
  1. Foundation pivoted to Rodeo on Instagram this week, and artists went full “REEEEE!” — exhibiting levels of hysteria not seen since XCOPY’s “Trumps a Fascist” tumblr era.
  1. Batsoupyum shared his own thoughts on Foundation’s pivot, and “co-founder” Elpizo Choi chimed in — apparently “co-founder mode" is being relatively unknown while your partner gets repeatedly tarred and feathered.
  1. Daniel of Transient Labs asked 'who are Zora’s and Drip’s hundreds of thousands of users?' — bots, Daniel, they’re called bots.
  1. SuperRarePerkins surveyed followers, asking “what’s the most annoying bug on SuperRare?” Thrice-rejected AI artist Makeitrad replied, “the application process.” — that’s actually a feature, not a flaw.
  1. Guido Disalle, still haunted by his paper hands, vowed to never sell $LQC, swearing “moon or dust” — I’ve seen the $LQC memes, Guido… it’s gonna be dust.
  1. Margaret Murphy posted a selfie to pump memecoin $popo — but with that filthy mirror? The only thing I’m buying is $windex.
  1. Verse announced “Artist Rooms,” a space for artists to release work on their own schedule — the replies from artists were so enthusiastic that Verse had to say, “Thanks, we’re full.”
  1. Collage artist slimesunday mused about a future in filmmaking — a couple of Runway AI outputs and suddenly everyone is Hayao Miyazaki. 
  1. A.C.K’s Piano Blossoms hit the auction block this week with Avant Arte, with a healthy allocation won by Hivemind Capital — their curation thesis? “Just buy them all.” Definitely an upgrade from their Fidenza thesis: “sharp angles.”
  1. Farcaster hit $2 million in revenue in July, but has crashed to under $1,000 a day this October — you know it’s built by ETH maxis because they’ll see these numbers, and just say, “you wait, our time is coming.”
