The Devil wears Prada, but Gucci accepts Bitcoin

Hey Moni Maker 🎒

Today, in 1956, the first Judo World Championship began in Tokyo. We wonder if the athletes at the time knew that in 70 years, someone would pay for... the sport?! Well, not in terms of prizes, titles, and fees - but with tokens. And not for Olympic accomplishments, but ordinary runs, like move-to-earn, do? Probably not. Cryptocurrency makes sport and earnings available to everyone. 

Let's go!

Well, every once in a while, we do have to get out of our world of degenerate traders into the world of nocoiners to see what's going on there. After all, we can skip the mass adoption this way...well, there you go! 

Gucci (do we need to explain who that is?!) will start accepting crypto in some of their shops. That's what Vogue Business has told us. Payments will be made through QR codes, which shoppers of branded clothing will be able to scan with their wallets. 

What will be accepted? Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.

Which coin do you think they forgot to add? :)

Apparently, Mr Musk is getting a little bit too little hype and discussion, so recently he put Bored Apes Yacht Club on his Twitter avatar. Not a BAYC NFT. but a stock picture... 

Coin APE pumped by 15-16%. 

UPD: And later Elon tweeted "I dunno … seems kinda fungible" and APE token dumped…

What's up. Kraken has announced the launch of its own NFT trading platform. Will it be something obscure like Coinbase or a real rival of Opensea? Let's figure it out or something!  

What are they threatening to implement:

- Zero commission for gas to sell and transfer NFT

- Built-in rarity assessment tool

- Fiat and crypto payments

- Ethereum and Solana support from launch
