Hey fam!

Welcome back, everyone! We hope you had a blast at Arts DAO Fest 2.0 because we sure did! We're still buzzing from all the excitement, but it's time to dive back into the world of crypto / NFT with our usual fervor.

ETH fees are hitting a six-month low, a potential sign of Alt season on the horizon. However, as history has shown, Alt season often kicks in months after the halving. With a whopping 85% of Altcoins in the historic buy zone, there's plenty to keep an eye on.

Shifting gears to the NFT/Web3 space: $MOCA's public sale is now live, and rumor has it that Luca Netz is dropping hints about a potential SOL Bridge for Lil Pudgys. Plus, everyone is expecting $Eigen this week!

Don't forget to check out "Making Money" for the latest tips and tricks. And, as always, remember to do your own research to position yourselves for success in any scenario.
