Forays into blockchain, NFTs and POAPs live here. I write about minting POAP tokens at family events, celebrating Ethereum’s 10‑year anniversary by creating an NFT and even using monitoring services to keep my POAP feeds up and running.

For a technologist, I can think of no better way to spend $20 than a month of experimentation with ChatGPT Plus.

For another $20 the second best is to get a little Ethereum and DAI, create a wallet, and learn how to buy a $1 NFT on NiftyInk.

I’ve been searching for a super simple way to sign strings of text with my Ethereum wallet and share that proof with anyone online and generally the options have been terrible. I had resigned myself to having to use PGP signatures. And then I found Signatorio which does exactly what I wanted! 👏

From The Economist Espresso on March 11, 2023.

American regulators closed Silicon Valley Bank amid a run on the tech-focused lender. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of SVB’s $175bn-worth of deposits and said insured depositors would have access to their money on Monday. America’s 16th-largest bank, having seen its deposits shrink during the VC winter, had failed to raise enough cash to stay afloat. The S&P 500 dipped by 1.5% on Friday to finish its worst week since September.

Signs of the stress at SVB were spilling over into other parts of the financial world late on Friday. The price of cryptocurrency USDC, a stablecoin which is pegged to the value of the dollar, fell to as low as $0.88. Circle, the payments company which manages USDC, confirmed that around $3.3bn of its $40bn in reserves was deposited with SVB.

Ekeko, a new artist on Nifty Ink, is a great example of what I dig about this site. It is like I get to see into the artists notebook and follow along in the creative process. Nifty Ink feels like going to a permanent Art Fair.
