Last Week on the 🌐 Internet
Pak launches $ASH, an experiment in curation, community, and liquidity in NFTs
Pak, creator of Archillect, recently launched $ASH, a social currency meets a curation DAO meets a psychology experiment. Honestly, it’s giving RARA mad FOMO3D and POWH3D vibes.
Per burn.art, “$ASH is a social currency backed by curated extinction. The value, the utility and the identity of $ASH is balanced by its users…$ASH can be mined by burning NFTs, bringing a dynamic balance to scarcity. For every NFT you burn you make the rest rarer, favoring their collectors.”
On a glance, this sound like an experiment in identifying who liked burning G.I. Joes as a kid but further digging reveals something a bit more interesting.
Continue reading about $ASH here.
I want you to vote for RARA on Mirror.xyz
RARA Social is running for the $WRITE Race. Voting opens Wednesday at 3pm ET.
MARKETS DUMPED 💰🔥 LITERALLY ALL WEEK
While we are on the subject of burning tokens, the markets dumped all week. Do with this what you will.
Poll of the Week
No poll this week but I’ll keep hammering this one home. Not investment advice, blah, blah.
