A — I’ve got a joke for you today, Ben…

B — Oooo!

A — Why did the REKT PLEB cross the road?

B — I don’t know Anastasia, why did the RB cross the road?

A — To ask us for financial advice!

B — Aha… and that’s why they’re rekt! What kind of a fool would seek FA on an infotainment show without Doing their own research aye?

A — (DIRECTLY INTO CAMERA) You wouldn’t do that, would you?

CHARTs

B — Eek haha, so, I’ve got a confession dear viewer listener type person. We’ve been having looking at them there charts together the past couple of weeks, but let’s be honest, we’re not learning a fat lot. Sooo, I thought I’d ask my good fren and NVMTS regular, Mr Edmund McCormack, if he could step in and add a touch of class to proceedings…

A — Hello Ed!

(see how the chat with Ed pans out, no point scripting him cause he won’t read it haha!)

Catch UP Stories

B- Wasn’t that refreshingly useful aye? And speaking of useful, what’s been going on since we last spoke?

A -Coinbase has introduced a new line of Coinbase Intelligence, which includes a tool for tracking and identifying transactions (KYT), as well as updates to the Coinbase Analytics product.

It seems Solanas biggest ever NFT PFP sale went recently, with Okay Bears raising 18.5m and floor prices rising steeply. BEary interesting…

And in South Korea, police have nabbed the not so masterminds behind NFT rug pull switch n bait Cat-See, who ‘half-inch’ over $160k

From bears, to cats, to monkeying around. Apecoin has been suspended from trading on Binance after a sudden spike in demand, maybe related to their metaverse land sale.

And final quickie, they said it would never have smart contracts, they said it would never have NFTs, and now, while it has both of these…

B — (interrupting from the background) sort of…!

A — They now have their own metverse coming. Caradlonia.
