🦍 BAYC X Superplastic DROPS TODAY

📈 Bitcoin bounce!

💸 The Merge is coming in Q3 (hopefully).

• Alien Frens Evolution - Floor Price: .38 ETH

• Los Muertos World - Floor Price: .406 ETH

• Tiny Dinos - Floor Price: .199 ETH

• Impostors Genesis Aliens - Floor Price: 3.15 ETH

Three days ago, SUPERPLASTIC revealed a teaser image with the caption, "F&CK IT. APE VINYL THIS WEEK." 

For those unaware, SUPERPLASTIC is a brand that uniquely specializes in animated celebs, vinyl toys, and digital collectibles. Past collaborations of the company include Gucci and The Sandbox.

Shortly after the teaser announcement, five unique and distinct 13-inch BAYC figures were revealed. Despite how impressive these look, if you don't own a BAYC, MAYC, or a Cryptojankyz & Headtripz (SUPERPLASTIC's NFT collection), you won't be able to reap the full benefits of the release.

The figurines will be released in fifteen-minute intervals over the span of three and half hours. The schedule follows:

• BAYC Curtis (figure shown standing in the middle of the provided image): 1:00 - 1:15 PM ET - Exclusive to BAYC holders

• Superplastic Skipper (figure shown standing to the very left of the provided image) 1:45 - 2:00 PM ET: Exclusive to Cryptojankyz & Headtripz holders

• MAYC Curtis (figure shown standing to the very right of the provided image): 2:30 - 2:45 PM ET - Exclusive to MAYC holders

• Public Curtis and Public Skipper (the two remaining figures in the provided image): 3:15 - 3:30 PM ET - Available to the public

Each figurine will be priced at $220 and sold exclusively via the SUPERPLASTIC website.

Good luck if you intend on going for one!

Our prayers were answered!

Yesterday, Bitcoin had a lovely green bounce off of what seems to be a new support level. It's debatable whether or not yesterday's double bottom became a triple bottom as the price never retested the line. Nevertheless, the price is up and currently consolidating!

Other notable coins, such as Ethereum and Solana, also boasted some green!

Hopefully, we continue to climb from here!

The Merge is scheduled to take full effect sometime before 2023.

For those unaware of what the Merge is and what it entails, here's an article I found on Ethereum's official site that should answer every answer you have:

https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/#main-content

Two days ago, Tim Beiko, a foundation developer at Ethereum, confirmed that the coin's scheduled 2.0 upgrade would not take effect in June (as previously anticipated).

Despite the confirmation, Beiko also confirmed that,

"...we're definitely in the final chapter of PoW on Ethereum."

While a delay may be frustrating for some, it comes with good intent. A notable downside of Proof-of-Stake is the reliability of the consensus at a mass scale. Buterin and his team of highly skilled developers are working day in and day out to prevent these scenarios before they happen. 

Here's the tweet we're referencing for those looking to dive deeper:

All Hail King Vitalik!
