Unique Crypto / NFT Callouts
Big shoutout to FTX for giving away over $100K in NFTs (2nd on the list). Also be sure to check out the tweets at the end from Genies. The company is super innovative and working on all sorts of epic NFT / Avatars / Web3 initiatives. I’m convinced that they’re one of the main authorities in this space.
Supply Chain
As badly as we’d like this to become ‘old news’ – it’s not. We are impacted by the combination of widespread shutdowns, coerced job displacement, a broken relationship with China, increased energy costs, winter weather, and more. Be sure to check out that last tweet for a sweet resource regarding supply chain disruptions.
Payments Fintechs: Private vs. Public
Publicly-traded companies in this space like PayPal (PYPL) and Block (SQ) were down -20-25% in 2021. Meanwhile, privately-held companies like Stripe ($94B), Klarna ($46B), and Checkout.com ($40B) are reaching astronomical valuation levels.
📊 Rapid Fire: Crazy Statistics
It’s justified to say that every single one of these statistics is insane.

🤠 Bonus Callout:
It’s officially the year of unsubb’ing from the Target or Dick’s Sporting Goods emails, and filling my inbox with more value-adding newsletters. My close friend Tejas just started one with his friends. The plan is to send a weekly update on three valuable nuggets of info from the creator world. Check it out here!
Have a great rest of your weekend. For our East Coast readers — be safe with incoming winter weather!
