Global newsletter: Crypto going to heck in a handbasket

We could have devoted this entire newsletter to the crypto crackdown, but that would have been needlessly punitive for all of us.

Truth is, we do need to focus most of our attention on World War Web3 (I mean, close enough for alliteration’s sake). If we’re going to do so, why not feature arguably the best opinion writer in the space: Matt Levine?

His take features this subhead: “Also Flo Rida at private equity parties,” so you know it will be a fun ride.

We’ve clearly shifted to the farce department as Gary Gensler doubles down on his dimwitted denouement (alliteration is my ear candy). 

Seeing as Binance US is about to freeze its assets off, it’s a prime pun playground for pundits.

OK, that’s the last one.
