I get it, you like Bitcoin and staying on trend with the markets, buuutttt, podcasts aren’t always convenient. So, rather than badger you to inconvience yourself to help me help you help yourself to stay up to date with the crypto gossip, I thought I’d paste out a (loose!) version of the transcript from each episode, complete with typos and naughty words and all!

If you’d prefer to watch and/or listen still, and just sorta stumbled here by accident, then here’s the links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F39DvBl_PyI&t=384s

INTRO

B — Hi, I’m Ben

A — I’m Anastasia

B — And you’re watching NVMTRM

A — On… 4/20….. Duuuuuuuuuddddddeeeee!

B — Every Monday Wed and Fri, me and Anastasia will be bringing you the latest, speculation gossip and rumors from the unconfirmed crypto news

A — Hey Ben, before we start, are you a financial advisor?

B — Hell no. Are you a financial advisor?

A — Noooopppeee.

B — Cool, glad we cleared that up.

CHARTs

B — Right, BTC is looking like a bull trap to me, bouncing off just over 41k and dropping. Eth a mirror image. Big movers include Ooo ooo oo Apecoin (apparently big announcement coming soon), anddddddd segueing back to our tradeview competition price watch, EVER have had a very nice 48 hours as you can see! SOL … losing steam a little AVAX … much and the same TERRA… sub decimal digit moves and DOT is…. ditto…

A — But why Ben, whhhhhhyyyyyyy do these coins move like this? Whhhhhhhyyyyyyy!?!?!

Catch UP Stories

B — TA is all fine, but FA maketh the coin. Or does it. What’s been going on since we last spoke!?

A — Argentine regulators work on an Innovation Center to simplify the tax controls. This should help not only investors wishing to invest in the regulated markets, but also replenish the treasury, since operations will be well handled by Argentina’s tax authorities.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase today announced the launch of its social marketplace for NFT. The marketplace is now available in beta test mode.

Rapper Snoop Dogg partnered with Mobland, a mafia-themed metaverse, to bring weed farms into the virtual space, including a limited collection of Snoop Dogg branded digital weed

B — Can you get addicted to drugs in the metaverse?

A- Roll eyes (?)

Blockchain.com is planning an initial public offering (IPO) as soon as this year, Bloomberg reported.

TOP Stories

B — Opensea might be blown out of the monopoly waters yet it seems, as Coinbase have launched the beta of their NFT market place.

A — Opensea currently accounts for more of the NFT market than all other platforms combined if I’m not mistaken. Why does it have such a stronghold on NFTs?

B — Well, if I had to guess I would say there’s a dilemma between audience and creator as to where to buy and sell work. Until more buyers move to other platforms, the sellers are tied to it.

A — Kinda of crazy decentralization is looking like a two horse race.

B — …. neigh !

B — Well in better news, and keeping our bosses happy, Everscale have been putting in the effort to justify the big gains these past few days.

A — This makes me so happy. Now, of course, I can;t say the reasons the price has gone up, but it may have something to do with WEVER

B — Wrapped EVER, which bridges to other blockchains, right.

A- That’s the cookie, WEVER is the highest growth token on Binance SMart chain, and a little birdy (Ben) tells me there is up to 48% APY on a stablecoin pair on FlatQube out there somewhere!

B — And to top it off anyone can now list tokens and pools on da Qube, pretty cool.

A — Mooooving on… Do you know what day it is, Ben?

B — Does this have anything to do with the strange duuuuuuuddddeee intro you did?

A — (pinky to the corner of mouth) Mayyyyybbbbeeee!

B — Of course I know what day it is! I look like more of a stoner than Shaggy from Scooby Doo ffs…

A — Ahh, but do you know what else it is today? …. It’s DOGE DAY! In what could be called Doges best year ever, thanks to rocket man supremo Elon Musk, Doge fans have been, well, memeing their woofers off, basically.

B — Here’s a few of the best to wrap up!

OUTRO

A — Please remember, as barking mad as Ben and myself are, we’re not financial advisors, but if you enjoyed the show, subscribe and like the video, because that’s what good people do!

As Anastasia said above, subscribe to the show, because YOU (yes you!) are a good person, and you wanna help us grow and do good things.

And a quick thanks to Andrei R | Crypto Fireside for the pep talk about staying on top of these side tasks!
