I secretly bought bitcoin with all my 401k after I got laid off during the pandemic. I was able to lock in at 5k for 30 bitcoin and I like to act broke so my three baby mamas won’t find out. I still get my kids whatever they want and work my job.

This is the post which first led @benitopagotto to reach out via DM. I thought he'd be pissed but he found it funny, he would dish out jokes but could also easily take them. His overly authentic personality, with a spice of French brashness, didn't always translate well on socials but speaking privately you could tell he was a well meaning kind guy.
I was one of the bigger critics on RTFKT's direction/approach but he was genuinely appreciative of the ideas/dialogue & and would calmly try to explain why they'd love to do certain things but couldn't given the business environment they were in.
I know he was actively pushing for a new home for Clones even after the sunset, he cared more than many in the community believed.
RIP Benoit, your vision proved to be ahead of its time but still damn glad to have been on this journey trying to push culture towards a new & unconventional direction.
While some will say Clones failed or died out, in my 12 years in this industry there's hardly anything I witnessed that had as much soul in it as the early days where art, pop-culture & tech perfectly converged to birth a level of self expression that for perhaps the first time made the abstract concept of 'digital identity' something tangible, something exciting. That soul will linger on via the art, artifacts & memories... and that no one can take away.

.@RTFKT is suppose to be a luxury brand with ultra premium customer service but this is literally who's at the helm 😅

If your name is Fei and you have a white boyfriend in crypto named Chris who took a flight from Token2049 in Singapore yesterday to Heathrow, sitting in seat 15F, he is most definitely cheating on you. He has booked a hotel room to spend the night together under the guise of a business trip in London with a girl named Cheng that was at the @irys_xyz and @multibank_io booths.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk.
The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds.
If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe.
If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now.
It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.
Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-just-foun…

Common sense often goes out the window in crypto:
BTC: A SoV with a broken long-term security model
ETH: A smart contract platform without capacity
XRP: A centralized "cryptocurrency"
In this light & without retreating into obscurity, SOL starts to look damn good in comparison!

7/16 Higher for Longer Bubble
What next? August Reminder

Totally agree
Way too much sugar, alcohol, and microplastics in most hotels.
Also they need to get rid of WiFi passwords and “captive portals”.
And add Eight Sleep mattresses.

I think fitness hotels will be a massive thing in the next few years Every luxury hotel I go asks me "would you like champagne or wine?" during check in Then you enter the room and there's a bottle of champagne waiting Then you go to the restaurant and they give you the 100-page wine list Then you go to the gym and it's 4 treadmills and and no barbell or plates in sight I understand this is because boomers are generally alcoholics, don't work out except walking and they control most of the money; see how Bill Gates looks these days But when they die that will be the largest generational transfer of wealth in history The generations after them are more health focused, don't drink alcohol, want to eat clean and work out properly One hotel I visited last year that fit the bill completely was Siro Fitness Hotel in Dubai (not affiliated, I just like it) They had the best gym I've seen (along with Stay in Phuket which similarly is a fitness hotel, they had a protein shake bar, and the food was all clean meat and vegetables and health-focused Health and fitness is more present in higher income categories so it's perfect for the luxury hotel market I don't see many hotels market to this though, I think there's a lagging demand as they still think the boomers control most of the money, which they do, for now...
