I think it's time for Bao Ordinals...

Finally talking about Bitcoin NFTs, the metaverse queen Paris Hilton, and U.S crack down on staking

GM Baos,

Boba makes the seasonal depression slightly more manageable 🙃🧋Let's chat Bitcoin shall we?

Today we cover:

  • Bitcoin NFTs

  • Paris Hilton's metaverse dating show

  • No staking in the United States?

Bitcoin NFTs

In all seriousness, I'm usually a top signal. The Bitcoin NFT hype has been going around since January, when Ordinals Protocol was launched. And where have I been? I dunno. They've actually caused quite the controversy within the Bitcoin community...

One of the most common complaints is how much higher network fees are. Since Ordinals run on Bitcoin mainnet, the increased activity causes congestion 😬. Surprisingly, over 10,000 NFTs have been minted as "digital artifacts" on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Name Service

Bitcoin usernames? The first username satoshi.btc name will be minted and auctioned in their Discord.

SOLD OUT - Bitcoin Punks

A copy + paste of Cryptopunks? On Wednesday, Punk 94 sold for 9.5 BTC 😳

What are your thoughts on Bitcoin NFTs? Is this what we need to accelerate adoption?

Will dating be easier in the metaverse? 🥲

Paris Hilton is on a mission to help YOU find love.

How? Parisland — a hybrid between a game and reality dating show that launches February 13th (aka Galentine's Day). The game will match you up with 5 potential parters, which you'll get to hunt for wedding rings, shop for outfits, and flirt with other contestants.

Complete at least 1 quest in this tropical island and you'll automatically win Parisland memorabilia at the end of the event on March 13th. But complete all 27 to win a mystery box filled with:

  • A unique Paris Hilton NFT

  • 100,000 SAND prize pool

The SEC said no staking 😭

The bull market is not back.

Brian Armstrong (the Coinbase CEO) tweeted the SEC might get rid of staking in the United States. And this was probably your short signal...

Not only did Coinbase shares drop more than 15%, the entire crypto market took a hit too.

Then the next day Kraken announces they shut down staking for U.S users. And to settle their lawsuit with the SEC, Kraken paid a hefty $30m fine.

All staked cryptocurrencies except ETH will be automatically unstaked. ETH will be unstaked after the Shanghai upgrade in March.
