YOUR DOSE OF CRYPTO WISDOM AND ENTERTAINMENT

Hey HODLers 👋

It’s been one of those weeks where collectibles, Bitcoin, AI, and crypto drama all hit at the same time. Let’s break it down.

Pikachu breaks records 🎴

A super-rare Pikachu Illustrator card just sold for $16.49 million. That makes it the most expensive trading card ever sold.

While NFTs have cooled, physical rarity clearly hasn’t. Serious collectors are still willing to deploy serious capital for iconic assets.

Scarcity still wins. Just sometimes in cardboard form. Read more!

Bitcoin at a crossroads ⚡

Bitcoin’s hashrate has rebounded strongly, which usually signals confidence from miners and stronger network fundamentals.

Price, however, is still struggling below key resistance levels. Miners remain under pressure due to high costs, and that keeps tension in the market.

If BTC reclaims higher levels, momentum could flip quickly. If not, expect more chop.

AI pressure on creators 🤖

A new report warns that AI could cut into creator revenues by 2028, especially in music and audiovisual sectors.

The issue isn’t just automation. It’s scale. AI can generate content instantly, which creates real competition for human creators.

Ownership, copyright, and value protection are becoming central conversations. This debate is only beginning.

BitBoy loses in court ⚖️

Crypto influencer BitBoy Crypto has lost a defamation lawsuit against Kevin O’Leary and has been ordered to pay millions.

The message is clear. Crypto may be decentralized, but legal systems are not.

Influence comes with responsibility. And sometimes, expensive consequences.

Another week in Web3.
Scarcity, volatility, disruption, accountability.

See you next round 🚀
