Dear Bankless Nation,

This past week in crypto and NFTs has been one for the books, to say the least.

Between the collapse of Terra and the revelation of the Azuki project’s connection to multiple rugpulls, there’s been no shortage of major drama around in recent days.

In times like these, it can be helpful to step back and catch your breath, take stock of your situation, and use a “wait and see” approach so things can settle some before you figure out your next moves.

In the meantime stay creative, and I hope you have a great weekend ✌️
