🧠 How Ye’s situation makes us even more bullish on crypto. 

JP Morgan, one of the most "trusted" banks, closed Kanye West's accounts for saying something they didn't like. 

How did Ye get here… 💀

In short. He's been saying some wild things. 

And some of it can be taken offensively by people looking from the outside.

For starters, he tweeted, "go death con 3 on jewish people", amongst other things that go against the agenda of the elites in power. 

And just like we've seen with the Tate ban. Kanye has been blacklisted from almost every institution, even the banks. 

Now he has until November 21st to use the banking service but then has to move his funds to a new institution. 

Matrix exposing itself. 😭

Despite controversial opinions, this situation shows how easy it is for centralized corporations to close accounts and withhold assets, no matter who the person is. Suppose you say something they don't like, and boom. You're gone.

What's this show???

It shows that if he can get shut down, anyone can. 

Crypto saves the day. 🤝

This is why crypto, especially BTC, is a fantastic currency. No one can stop you from making a transaction or censoring your funds. It's a self-custody asset that does not need any 3rd party to function.  

And the only way to do so is to shut down the internet or destroy every single miner on earth, which is technically impossible. 

Crypto is the future of having a genuinely free economy, and that's why we're so adamant about it being an asset that will take over.

Advantages of using crypto for the average joe 👇: 

  • Keep more money for yourself instead of paying 3rd party fees from the banks. 

  • Secure transactions from wallet to wallet. 

  • You never have to verify with anyone if you want to send money to your family abroad. 

  • Operates 24/7; no one likes waiting five business days to receive their money. 

Banks aren't your friends. Even if you're making billions of dollars, they will shut you up if you're doing something they don't like.

👀 Magic Eden makes creator royalties optional

The meta is shifting towards 0% royalty fees. After DeGods announced they wouldn’t take any fees, marketplaces like Yawww and Hadeswap have been trying to compete with ME.

To keep up, Magic Eden, SOL’s most prominent marketplace, has decided to make royalties optional. 

Now traders can flip their NFTs for more profits, eliminating the regular 1%-10% that most marketplaces charge.

How it works 🧐:

Typically the creator fees are built into the smart contract of the NFT collection; hence people pay 1%-10% of every transaction. 

But this is not immutable. Meaning marketplaces like Yawww, SudoSwap and now Magic Eden can code around it to let people buy and sell without paying. 

The dark side 🪙:

Other than creators not getting paid and the whole space having a shift. 

There’s also: 

  • Mint prices: increase upfront prices because projects would not have the cash flow to keep building. 

  • Devs securing profits: Some founders will likely hold most of the supply and dump at the top. 

  • Short-term pumps are rewarded: Innovation would be slower since founders focus on selling out the project instead of building along with the community.

  • Returning to Web2 standards: Artists will be paid perpetually.

The bright side ☀️ : 

  • More profits: if you sell an NFT for $1M, instead of paying 100k (if the creator fee is 10%), you will pocket that money for yourself.

  • Founders forced to innovate: If the main incentive for founders to build goes away, it forces them to find new creative ways to scale and solve problems with the project rather than depending on secondary sales.

This could be an overall W, as it pushes devs to innovate the space. Everyone needs a push to do something great, and we’ve seen the same story for the past few months repeat itself. So 0% royalties could be that conflict founders need to propel the markets to the mainstream.

⚜️ Golden Nugget: Lookout for more marketplaces adapting to the new meta. Also, this is your time to make more profits by buying and selling NFTs.

🏦 MetaMask adds instant Bank to Crypto transfers.

With the help of Sardine, users will be able to fund their crypto wallets via bank transfers instantly instead of having to wait for traditional fund transfers to clear. 

A little about Sardine. 👊

  • They've raised $51.5M in series B funding with Andreesen Horowitz. 

  • Their users experience 90% less identity fraud.

The little steps will take us further, even if it doesn't seem significant now and prices are moving sideways. Making the process easier for joe down the block to buy crypto will help the space in the long run.  

Stay strong kings and queens.
