1. Peak ignorance of crypto

2. What does long bond yields spiking mean?

3. "Solana is not decentralized" argument debunked

4. Telegram as a crypto-native superapp
Joel breaks down why Telegram may be great for crypto-native apps looking to acquire users.
5. FT airdrop design
Great analysis of the FT airdrop with some wider thoughts on what makes a successful airdrop.
Random protocol update
Celestia will indeed be launching their token and doing an airdrop. I honestly had to triple check to ensure this was real. It is. They have included over 500k addresses in the drop, so it is well worth checking if qualified in order to claim.
