Blubber Notes #59
Dear Future Whales,
In today’s note, I'm excited to share details about my new favorite web3 artist. I also have some compelling news tailored for BoredBox owners, and I'll provide you with a new resource to help you stay well-informed about the ever-evolving NFT market. Let’s dive in!
Summary:
An Artist to know

To Mint or Not to Mint
🎨 An Artist to know!
I preface this note by acknowledging that I am not known to be a fervent fan of Art NFTs solely for the sake of art, as I have often questioned, "Wen utility?" However, every now and then, I stumble upon something special, and I genuinely believe this artist has something truly unique to offer.
I'd typically include images within the note, in this case, you'll swiftly understand why a static image wouldn't do justice to the artist's creations. Please see the links for sources and give Marcelo Pinel a follow!
These are some of my favorites:

🎮 Big news for Bored Box owners!
Do you own a Bored Box? If you do, the team has recently introduced gaming cartridges for existing holders! These cartridges evoke a sense of nostalgia, drawing design inspiration from well-loved titles like Mortal Kombat and Super Mario. This concept aligns seamlessly with their existing console designs, namely the Bored Box - Genesis and B64.
Each cartridge is situated on the Polygon chain and offers immediate utility to holders by enhancing the daily accumulation of "Boredom." Just as a quick refresher, "Boredom" serves as a utility token that accumulates for current Bored Box holders and can be utilized to redeem items from the Boredom store.
More items are coming! Today, the Boredom store has been restocked with gaming assets available for purchase using the Boredom you've accumulated.
🖼️ To Mint or Skip?
I frequently receive inquiries about which projects to mint. However, the reality is that it's nearly impossible for me to stay updated on every single project and provide definitive recommendations. To address this, I've recently subscribed to "Mint or Skip."
The team truly excels at dissecting the most promising upcoming mints, offering insights that are remarkably thorough. As a rule of thumb, when dealing with any mint, I suggest utilizing a hot wallet exclusively housing assets intended for speculative mints. As you grow more confident with the acquired assets, you can consider transferring them to a different, more secure wallet.

Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, or a store of value, but it does not have legal tender status. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes exchanged for U.S. dollars or other currencies around the world, but they are not generally backed or supported by any government or central bank. Their value is completely derived by market forces of supply and demand, and they are more volatile than traditional currencies. The value of cryptocurrency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular cryptocurrency should the market for that cryptocurrency disappear. Cryptocurrencies are not covered by either FDIC or SIPC insurance. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of cryptocurrency.
Investing in cryptocurrencies comes with a number of risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing. There is no assurance that a person who accepts a cryptocurrency as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
Investors should conduct extensive research into the legitimacy of each individual cryptocurrency, including its platform, before investing. The features, functions, characteristics, operation, use and other properties of the specific cryptocurrency may be complex, technical, or difficult to understand or evaluate. The cryptocurrency may be vulnerable to attacks on the security, integrity or operation, including attacks using computing power sufficient to overwhelm the normal operation of the cryptocurrency’s blockchain or other underlying technology. Some cryptocurrency transactions will be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that a transaction may have been initiated.
· Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication and willingness to bear the risks of an investment and a potential total loss of their entire investment in cryptocurrency.
· An investment in cryptocurrency is not suitable or desirable for all investors.
· Cryptocurrency has limited operating history or performance.
· Fees and expenses associated with a cryptocurrency investment may be substantial.
There may be risks posed by the lack of regulation for cryptocurrencies and any future regulatory developments could affect the viability and expansion of the use of cryptocurrencies. Investors should conduct extensive research before investing in cryptocurrencies.
