BlackPool Bulletin #30
We can all feel the bear market. Even maximalists are starting to doubt. But on the other side, we see massive investments & acquisitions almost everyday. Does it mean crypto will survive? Definitely, but the next bull market will be different.
How? We will see. This week: some massive acquisitions by Animoca Brands, Uniswap releases their NFT aggregator, Opensea integrates a new chain, Sorare continues building, and some tweets about the economy to top it all off. Grab your coffee, it’s time to learn!
- Animoca buying everyone.
- But why is Animoca buying everyone?
- Finally a good NFT aggregator with Uniswap.
- A must read about utility NFTs.
- A thread about RTFK new drop.
- OpenSea integrating BNB chain.
- Arbitrum cheat sheet for newcomers.
- Why we might run to another economy crash.
- Let’s talk about EU metaverse gala (even if they hope we don’t).
- Sorare integrating prices history.
- Sorare happy to show Mbappe (and we are too).
- A report about Blockchain Gaming investments.
- How to keep you funds safe after FTX.
- Animoca heavily growing. Bear market is for building (and acquisitions), right?
