Crises

I got a little carried away with what was originally going to be a joke and ended up writing a short essay on sustainable energy and what seems to be the death of reason. Really its just a massive advert for Doomberg lol. Anyway, if you are interested in such a rant check it out.

First, two paragraphs below to set the tone.

Today, I want to talk about an irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts, a land literally overflowing with wine and cheese, where sophisticated civility is held in the highest regard. A place of comfort and leisure (unless you need AC in the summer or heat in the winter.) I’m speaking of course, about the magical and ancient land we call Europe.
I have seen and experienced almost every country in Europe at this point on a deep level, admittedly, it’s gorgeous and the food is undeniably sublime. I love the slow pace, the way they haven’t built anything meaningful in centuries, and their carefree attitude towards tech and the future, I envy them. The place is so dang beautiful it actually pisses me off. I ask myself, why should that thing, that place, that baguette encapsulate such beauty? It doesn’t seem fair, and it’s infuriating…

Polygon x Starbucks

Polygon is everywhere these days! Literally cementing big partnerships every week! If I was a betting man (and I am,) I’m buying MATIC here.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Starbucks Coffee Company is working with Polygon to provide the blockchain technology to build its recently announced Web3 experience, Starbucks Odyssey.
As a result of the partnership, this new Web3-powered experience will allow Starbucks Rewards loyalty program members and Starbucks partners (employees) in the United States to earn and purchase digital collectible stamps in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This one-of-a-kind loyalty program experience is powered by the low fees and high transaction speeds on the Polygon PoS network.

The Merge Approaches

The Merge has everyone talking and now even large Banks are getting bullish! LG!!!

Now, The Merge is catching the attention of institutional players like Bank of America, who say that “the significant reduction in energy consumption post-Merge may enable some institutional investors to purchase the token that were previously prohibited from purchasing tokens that run on blockchains leveraging proof of work (PoW) consensus mechanisms,” according to a note from BoA analysts Alkesh Shah and Andrew Moss.

Makes you think though, what happens if the Merge fails?

Flippen heck, don’t fail us now Vitamin Butterain.
