The Daily Spin. Trepid Thursday Edition. We return with a one-day catch up of current events in the space - yes, SBF did speak live during the DealBook Summit (hosted by NYT); you can watch the hour-and-a-half stream of BS through the last link of this issue.

Much love to the team there, who have been working extra hard on the front lines - we wish you the best and support you from the bottom of our hearts!
No surprise on the amount of FTX-contagion related content still dominating the crypto media, from exchanges proving that they’re doing their jobs correctly to mass claims of “nothing to do with it” or “here’s the huge dump that is going to occur because of it.” Another mysterious crypto-billionaire Russian oligarch buys the farm under questionable circumstances.

Brazil approves crypto as a formal payment method. And last but not least, Elon Musk continues to make waves in his clash with Apple …here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed of the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, information dissemination to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
