BlackPool Bulletin #38

The Bear Market mood is affecting most of the fading twitter space. How to keep pushing when the main centralised social media is falling apart? Still massive news is dropping every week.

The king YugaLabs managed to hype the whole space around a gamified mint, and Amazon is entering the NFT space with big projects. How long will this decentralisation dream survive?

On the other hand, Porsche tried a cash grab by selling its collection at the crazy price of 0.911 ETH. This was a big fail, showing that, again, brands should think about Web3 as a community tool and not a marketing bait. Would Porsche have failed during a bull run? Probably not, and that is why bear markets are also necessary.
