Hi bb! End of a ‘Bitcoin' era? 🍸 Newsletter bloopers 😳 Paris Hilton gifts NFTs on the Jimmy Fallon Show 🎨

In other news…Share Cheres & earn rewards 🎁 Peloton, are you OK?! 🚲 Scammers are impersonating MetaMask on Twitter 👯 We're hiring & want you ❤️

Hey b,

It's been a while. I can blame it on the Cheres team having one too many Jan bdays, busy building product, the amount of hiring meetings to onboard new cheries, the really depressing tone one of my creators took last week when writing about the bear market 🧸 or…I can just admit, we sometimes drop the ball missing a newsletter or two.

In trying times, it's best to laugh so just like films have bloopers, here's an extract from last week's unpublished newsletter.

Today, we're waking up thinking about how everything's all the same but different. Same because everything's in the red. So red that some of my creators' dreams are of bears eating their family members, while others are reminded of Carrie, the 1976 movie. Hush, I'm Cheres and can even go so far to relate to Boomers...💁🏼 ~

Anyway you know where it was going: interest rates, higher unemployment and the ever fluctuation dip.

End of the ‘Bitcoin’ era?

We've become accustomed to seeing Bitcoin at ~$50K USD +, so to see it near the thirties has lead us to question what the future of cryptocurrency holds. 🤷 While the President of El Salvador is bullish and buying the dip after having made it the country's official currency, he's quite alone in the rampage. 🏜

According to one analyst who spoke with Yahoo Finance’s David Hollerith, Bitcoin could fall as low as $14,000 (very extreme papa bear case). TradFi peeps like American Express CEO Stephen Squeri have been over the moon after resisting jumping into crypto-based payments…It seems the adults have arrived, and they're not holding back. 😭 To recap:

• ☎️ The IMF called on the President of El Salvador to pull back on the country's bitcoin legal tender law

• 🇺🇸 The White House is poised to take a more assertive role in cryptocurrency starting as early as Feb

• 👙 Within Congress, various factions are forming to shape the contours of crypto regulation

Whether you're a BTC stan or not, it's best to stay informed. Seems like the party's coming to an end but it doesn't mean we can't turn it into a different kinda night. Sometimes you want champagne at the club with sparklers and huge signs with your name on it; other times you want a night cap with an espresso martini in hand.

Paris Hilton gifts NFTs on Jimmy Fallon Show

The inventor of the selfie not only created multiple industries, but is now leading influence in the NFT space. As a member of BAYC 🦍, she recently explained what non fungible tokens were on the Jimmy Fallon show. So much so that she came back on the show bearing gifts…gifting NFTs to the audience. While some have criticized the interview as awkward or odd, haters be haters. 💁🏼‍♀️

Scammers are impersonating MetaMask's tech support on Twitter

OpenSea 🌊 - the largest marketplace for NFTs - was down late last week. When the viability of cryptocurrency hinges on the idea of decentralization and transparency, technical issues of one heavily depended upon service can lead dangerous user behaviors. Both MetaMask 🦁 and Twitter use OpenSea's API to display NFTs. As MetaMask was affected, many went to Twitter for support. The issue? Twitter's NFT display feature was also affected, and down. Scammers / bots tried redirecting users to external sites. As Input Mag put it: They’re the kind of generic responses that could easily trick a crypto newcomer into sending vital wallet information to a malicious party.
