GM ladies and gentleman and welcome back to B&C, the newsletter that'll have you going, huh that was mildly amusing. Brought to you by the brilliant idiots Nat and V.

Here's the breakdown for today:

• A victory lap.

• Nat's Picks for the week.

• V's Picks for the week.

• Something to bless your inbox.

Don't say that we don't deliver y'all some good alpha. Remember our inaugural newsletter that got released on June 24?!? The one where we dropped this gem:

Well God was on our side and this project PUMPED. Getting 10x returns in a bear market?!? Who would have thought.

Just don't look at the rest of the graph...

Web2 me vs web3 me :P

Stumbled across a great piece of design history that connects the innovative artist, Pablo Picasso, and the prolific technology behemoth Apple.

Picasso created a series of 11 lithograph stone prints of a bull which each successive illustration being less complex. This forced him to think about the intrinsic visual elements of a bull that made is just that, a bull.

This design philosophy was carried over at Apple where the design team emphasizes simplifying the objects they create to their bare bone functionality. Quite an amazing feat for devices created from human imagination.

I take you out to dinner and pull this out WYD?!?!

Remember all those suspect project you aped into just to get rug-pulled? Well looks like karma is on your side. The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently filed a suit against the creators of Baller Ape club and 5 other projects that rugged their buyers.

Seriously what poor soul bought this s#!t 😭😭😭

Here's a breakdown of what's happening:

• All of these cases are being filed under "digital currency related fraud" and the investigation was done in collaboration with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the DOJ.

• The second case involved a “global cryptocurrency-based Ponzi scheme that generated approximately $100 million from investors.”

• The third case was a fraudulent Initial Coin Offering (ICO) executed by Michael Stollery, a Californian, who created Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Services (TBIS) a digital asset investment platform.

My thoughts: Glad to see the DOJ finally starting to clamp down on the BS projects. Hopefully a stricter regulatory environment will bring along with it more stability and credibility to the digital asset markets. Until then you'll still catch me getting rugged on the daily 😎.

Here's something to bless your inbox: Parents listen to their deceased son's heart beating in the chest of the man whose life it saved.

See y'all next week,

V and Nat
