Porsche NFT launch crashes and burns

We've mentioned Porsche trying to launch an NFT collection in one of our newsletters, and now it's looking like the actual sale turned into a disaster. With the NFTs priced at 0.911 ETH, or about $1,475 a piece, it was way too expensive for most people and only ended up alienating potential buyers.

Many were quick to point out that Porsche had overestimated what their collection was worth in the current market - an unfortunate misstep in an industry already prone to scandals. The company had hoped to leverage their reputation as a luxury car brand, but the market trend of crypto art and NFTs seemed to have passed them by.

Crypto Twitter, which had been mostly positive about Porsche's venture into the NFT world until then, quickly turned negative. Community members immediately called it a "cash grab" and criticized the company for being "tone deaf" and "clueless," leaving Porsche with more than a million impressions of mockery.

In the end, it's clear that Porsche didn't understand what they were getting into when launching their NFT collection. Hopefully, this experience serves as an object lesson to other companies looking for quick money in the NFT space.

Porsche minted just about 2000 NFTs out of 7500 planned, and now the floor price of these NFTs have dropped below 0.905 ETH (about $1,465).

a16z funds another blockchain game studio called Voldex, the scene for user-generated content platforms to reach new heights

Biggest crypto investment firm a16z just announced that they have led a Series A investment in another blockchain game studio, called Voldex. The exact amount of the investment has not been disclosed yet, but a16z's Andrew Chen and Jack Soslow expressed high expectations for the growth of Voldex in the future.

Voldex looks to raise the standards of user-generated content platforms like Roblox and Minecraft by acquiring and improving existing games. With over 58.8 million users using Roblox alone, Voldex has the potential to reach millions of users and significantly increase their user base.

Voldex's deep understanding of the game space and a16z's vast experience in the crypto investment field make this collaboration an exciting one. It will be interesting to see how Voldex performs with the additional resources from a16z and what new products they can create for their users.

The future of user-generated content platforms looks brighter than ever, the big players are moving in and it will be interesting to see what comes next.

Web3 dapps and games are becoming more sophisticated and user-friendly, with features like mobile compatibility and advanced content creation tools. With more developers joining the space, there are more opportunities to create truly engaging experiences and build out an entire economy around user-generated content.

The possibilities for monetization have grown dramatically over the last few years, with new revenue models being explored and adopted by content creators. There is a strong emphasis on rewarding users for their contributions and providing incentives to keep them engaged. With blockchain technology, developers can also create unique tokens that represent unique content, allowing them to be traded or exchanged for goods and services.

El Salvador defies doubters, successfully repays $800m bond

Seems like despite what many experts predicted, El Salvador managed to prove them wrong and repaid its $800 million bond.

The country's political leader, who is a great proponent of bitcoin, celebrated the news on Twitter by expressing his regret that most international media outlets weren't reporting this information. He referred directly to The New York Times, which had published an article last claiming that El Salvador was on the verge of defaulting on the debt and that their decision to buy bitcoin could be a detriment to their monetary network.

However, it looks like El Salvador was able to prove everyone wrong and successfully repaid the bond, much to their leader's delight. This does not only put doubts about the country's financial stability at rest but also proves to be a symbol of hope for other countries looking to embrace the cryptocurrency movement.

Crypto community is hailing El Salvador's success and celebrating it as a victory of the digital age, because if the experiment
