Closing Thoughts
It was an interesting Sunday with Darkfarms and Jack Butcher bringing plenty of excitement to social timelines and marketplaces. The intersection of meme coins and art is being actively explored, and the low cost open edition meta is very alive.
No X Spaces today (travel), but I will be announcing a different one for this Wednesday.
Have an inspired week!
