1. The bitter taste of disappointment as $CAKE takes a downward plunge. The Head Chef of #PancakeSwap serves up a thoughtful thread, aiming to restore faith and assure the community "that our recent changes have been made with careful consideration and for the long-term benefit of PancakeSwap and our users"🥞

2. scroll through a thread of pure crypto science by @0xMughal, offering insights and strategies for yield farming, liquidity provision, and staking. But don't get caught in the weeds! Farming isn't risk-free, so always diligently DYOR.

3. Curious about how the banking scene affects the future of crypto? Well, @CryptoHayes shows us in this thread shedding light on the US banking crisis. And, if his article was deemed too hot for Medium, leading to its censorship, then you know it's a must-read.

4. Sigh.. Elon took to his app again, dropping a meme about the Milady NFT project, causing the floor price to jet from 3.8 ETH to 7 ETH at its peak. All with one measly tweet…shaking our heads

5. @Crypto_McKenna's biggest bet is on $ARB. A speedster among Ethereum's layers, attracting protocols, users, and monies. Boasting network growth, liquidity dominance, and an upcoming game-changing EIP-4844 catalyst, this thread screams "big potential!”

6. This thread examines the ways that various networks, including Polygon, Avalanche, and Polkadot, make use of their native tokens for staking, validation, and securing relay chains.
