Dear Crypto Natives,
This week we saw flash loans start to ween out weak protocols like an Apex predator. Painful yet part of the process. When DeFi gets attacked it gets stronger.
Also this week…people called this article the best crypto tax article they’ve read, we re-released David Hoffman’s hits, and we learned about prize savings money legos.
And this is odd…2 days ago Bankless twitter sent out this obscure tweet.
What could it mean? 🤔
