Must Read
Today's most important story for crypto investors.
|
|
We think Uniswap (UNI) is one of the most exciting crypto investments out there. It's the leading DEX, with a track record of innovation and an ability to execute.
Now NFTs have come to Uniswap thanks to its purchase of NFT aggregator Genie. Check it out here.
This means Uniswap will aggregate NFT listings from popular sites like OpenSea, X2Y2, and LooksRare and allow easy transactions in the Uniswap platform.
Investor takeaway: If Uniswap can pull it off, this will give the protocol an entirely new market to dominate with better rates and lower gas fees. Watch out, OpenSea. It's another reason we're long-term hodling UNI.

The One-Month Countdown
by John Hargrave
|
|
We’re planning to launch an exciting new feature on January 1.
You’ll want to connect your MetaMask crypto wallet before January 1.
You only need to do this once, so do it now.
|
|
To be crystal clear:
-
If you’re a Premium member, you need to connect your wallet before January 1.
-
If you’ve been a Premium member in the past, you can also connect your wallet before January 1.
-
If you’re not yet a Premium member, you can sign up now and connect your wallet.
This has been in the works for a long time. We can’t wait to share the entire story with you.
For now, connect your wallet and let us know if you have any problems (just respond to this newsletter).
Crypto Swag Responses
We recently ran a follow-up survey where we asked you to rate more of the crypto swag items you requested. Here are the highest rated items.
|
|
Hodlin' Hoodie
By popular demand, a classic unisex hoodie proclaiming your intention to," Keep on Hodlin.'" Inspired by vintage videogames, this is an original graphic developed by our BMJ designers that won't be available anywhere else. With a front pouch pocket, matching flat drawstrings, and a cozy 100% cotton exterior, the Hodlin' Hoodie is an old-style goodie.
|
|
Results: This one got the highest rankings of any of our proposed designs, which is great because we already commissioned the artwork.
|
|
Satoshi Socks
Kick off your shoes and slap on some sats! Spice up your wardrobe with these cozy, comfy crew socks proudly emblazoned with the bitcoin logo. Dress them up with jeans and a blazer or wear them out to parties. These socks are a fashion statement and a financial statement all in one. The new consensus algorithm is proof of socks!
|
|
Results: These socks drew the most polarized response, causing the chart above to look like two long tube socks. Some loved them, and some apparently don't wear socks (perhaps we also need bitcoin-branded shoe deodorizers).
|
|
Shadowy Super-Coder Cloaked Hoodie
Inspired by Senator Elizabeth Warren's warning of the Shadowy Super-Coders running crypto, this hoodie brings your super-coder status out of the shadows. When you emerge from your underground lair sporting this cotton/poly blend, you can still keep your identity concealed, as the comfortable drawstring hood will be drawn tightly around your laser eyes. Perfect for all-night hacking sessions and building a financial superstructure to topple world governments.
|
|
Results: One-third of you totally want to be known as shadowy super-coders. The ones we're worried about are the 24% who don't want their shadowy super-coder statuses revealed. That's shadowy.
|
|
Carbonated Cardano T-Shirt
Inspired by the beverage that dozens of Cardano developers drink non-stop, this soft, colorful T-shirt proclaims your love for the Layer-1 blockchain and its ADA token. Comfortable enough to wear to a party or bed, this highly carbonated shirt will last you until the Basho phase (with proper care, even to Voltaire).
|
|
Results: By popular request, we created a number of items around the top tokens our community has invested in. One full third of you loved this one, a good sign we need more Cardano swag.
|
|
NFT-Shirt #00001
As every NFT collector knows, the first item in a series is usually the most valuable. This handsome, two-color jersey is embroidered with your proof of ownership. This is the first NFT shirt ever. This piece is literally one of a kind; we will only make one of them! It comes with a companion NFT recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. Wear it or keep it as an investment. It's up to you!
|
|
Results: If Yeezys are headed for the trash bin, the world needs a new investible clothing line. The early response to our NFT-shirt idea was excellent, with most of you saying you would invest. This is an NFT with real utility!
|
|
More Community Feedback
"I have a conservative clothing taste."
"I would like to see bolder colors."
"Need more caps and maybe some sleeveless vests?"
"They are excellent. Can see myself buying and wearing all of them!"
"You should add one of those coffee mugs that changes color when you add a hot liquid. The mug has a drawing of Vitalik, which reveals Saint Vitalik when you add coffee. If you create that, I'll buy 2."
Thanks for your input and feedback. Stay tuned, and don't forget to connect your MetaMask before January 1.
The clock is ticking.
