Hello, friends 👋🏻 Another week has gone by in Crypto land. Let's see what this crazy land has been all about!
Crypto Stuff 🚀
📈 The Markets
$BTC - $44,515.68 is UP 5.6% in the last 7 days
$ETH - $2,419.37 is UP 6.6% in the last 7 days
It seems like the bull market is in full swing this week, with Bitcoin breaking the $50k barrier and other altcoins following the upward trend. There are only 63 days left until the halving, and the FOMO is starting to become very real. Nevertheless, I always remain cautious after a good couple of days of the markets pumping, as there will probably be a correction soon (not financial advice!).

🤓 What am I learning?
This week, I discovered the "new standard" ERC-404, notable for powering a token that surged by 12,000% in just one week.
ERC-404 merges the features of ERC-20 (fungible tokens) and ERC-721 (non-fungible tokens or NFTs) to create "semi-fungible" tokens. These tokens can be both unique like NFTs and divisible like traditional cryptocurrencies. Essentially, ERC-404 allows for fractional ownership of NFTs through minting and burning processes. When a full token is bought, an NFT is minted to the buyer's wallet; when fractions are sold, the NFT is burned. Accumulating enough fractions automatically mints a new NFT, enabling fractional transfers and ownership of NFTs.
🚨 Security Stuff

🆒 Cool Stuff from the Week
🎧 Podcast episode I’m listening to:
This week, I've been catching up with some of the latest episodes from Bankless. A go-to that I always end up listening to when my queue isn't too full is the weekly Rollup! It's a great way to stay up to date with the latest crypto developments and narratives from the week (video here).

For my fellow Argentineans frens, I haven’t listened yet, but this is what’s next on the list:
🤔 Quote I’m pondering:
📚 What am I reading:
I've got a new Kindle book for my nighttime reading 🛋️, titled "DotCom Secrets" by the marketing guru, Russell Brunson. It's all about how to sell online through marketing funnels. I'm finding it quite interesting, especially since this is a skill I lack, coming from a Software Engineering background!
Not actually reading it, but I’ve heard a lot about this book so I added to the queue!: Read, Write, Own: Building The Next Era of the Internet.
