gm gm,

Happy 48th birthday, Satoshi Nakumoto! No, we still don’t know who the mysterious creator of Bitcoin is, but they have a birthday that happened this week 🎉.

You’ll notice that this week’s newsletter has A LOT of events. ‘Tis the season! If you’re in Boston next week, make sure to stop by the Sustainable Blockchain Summit. In addition to being one of our *favorite* Web3 events, Sam will be speaking about why it’s so important to talk to non-tech audiences about the potential of Web3 and how to do so. If you’re there, please say hi 😄.

We are verrrrrrrry close to revealing two big announcements. In the meantime…

WAGMI (we are going to make an impact)
xx Abeera & Sam

P.S. As governments across the world weigh in on crypto, keep track of all the latest in crypto regulations with this very useful tool.
