Blur spits on OpenSea

It's the Day of Kindness! Unfortunately, the crypto world is currently full of toxicity, even at its highest x’s. So, we encourage you not to get caught up in it. Instead, do good and daily acknowledge those you're grateful for, as it's a very powerful thing to do.

Moving on to the matter of toxicity, CEO Blur calls for a boycott of OpenSea. Also, let's look at the Generative and Bitcoin NFT projects…we aped into one :) 

Let’s go!    

The Blur CEO aka Pacman insists that artist aka creators should "block OpenSea," or in other words, cancel it. Pacman claims that artists should receive royalties on all whitelisted platforms, not just one. Currently, OpenSea does not allow royalties to be received on all platforms.

Blur promises to pay full royalties to those who refuse to use OpenSea. They also promise to include NFT collections who canceled OS in the second list of airdrops. 

The royalties battle took place last year when the community began to debate whether royalties should be mandatory. As an artist, you cannot receive royalties on both Blur and OpenSea; you have to choose one.

What now?

The crypto community can forgive a lot - youthful mistakes, devs' blunders, inattention, and tantrums. But what it will never forgive is working AGAINST the community's interests. And flirting with royalties when OpenSea disconnected them was precisely such a blunder.

The market is crashing; everyone is crying…but 1inch is growling and rolling the new update out. It’s Router v5. Why? What? Who? Let’s dive into it! 

What is a 1inch Aggregation Router? It’s a mechanism that serves you as a fee minimisation. Yes, it finds the best solutions when you wanna swap your beloved SHIB for ETH. 

So what? What? Now it has been merged with 1inch Limit Order to degrade the gas. 

All of that, plus the upgraded system of smart contracts’ errors processing, let 1inch degrade fees by 4-6% compared to the previous version. And by 26% compared to other DEX’s. 

Cool? Yup! Check more via this link.

Generative is a new generation art platform on Bitcoin with the goal of bringing generative art to every home. Long story short, they wanna make BTC NFT easier for us. 

What's on offer:

- A marketplace for BTC NFTs

- Testnet with rewards

- Implementation is disappointing

Works shitty. We hope they will fix it.

Do you want a Bitcoin NFT? Freebie? Ghost On Bitcoin is giving NFTs away!

A little background: A week ago, we aped into Bitcoin NFTs called Ghost On Bitcoin. You could get them for 0.15 ETH and ask the developers to hold them for you on their wallets to avoid running a node.

Here's what the collection promises now:

– Airdrop of tokens to holders

– Airdrop of ETH ghosts, which are kind of replicas on Ethereum

– They gave each holder an additional ghost

Our thoughts: the collection is either a scam that doesn't know what to do next, or it's a gem that has already given us more gifts as nobody did. Btw, it's worth participating in the raffle!

To participate, you need to like and retweet, reply with your ETH address, and join Discord. Good luck!
