At first glance, “Shiftwork” presents a quiet, unassuming scene: a janitor cleaning beside escalators in a sterile, modern building. Yet beneath its minimalist surface lies a complex meditation on modernity, memory, and the role of the artist as a 21st-century historian. By removing noise and clutter, @GrantYun2 presents this modern environment as eerily pristine to evoke both a sense of nostalgia and detachment, hallmarks of the 21st-century digital condition. The near emptiness suggests quiet reflection or alienation. It feels like a moment of pause in a place meant for movement - an airport or transit hub - where time usually feels compressed. This work is an effort to “document observations of the everyday.” But in doing so with such care, precision, and intentionality, Grant doesn’t just reflect the world, he reinterprets it, offering a quiet, mathematical poetry that asks us to look again at the spaces we move through, and the people we often don’t see. The palette is subdued: beiges, chromes, and soft blacks, echoing the quietude of corporate and transit environments. The ceiling panels, reflections on the floor, and the composition of the escalators are rendered with geometric precision, creating a scene that is both realistic and abstract. Every element is reduced to its essence. The floor reflections and ceiling lights are flattened into geometric shapes, removing distractions and heightening the meditative stillness of the scene. The central perspective draws the viewer’s eye directly toward the janitor and the escalators, emphasizing solitude and symmetry. There’s a contemplative void created by the empty space and the absence of bustling crowds. The janitor, central to the composition, is not merely a background figure. He is the focal point: quiet, absorbed in his task, and bathed in soft light. Yun dignifies his labor, drawing attention to the human presence in environments often designed to feel impersonal. By placing the janitor in the spotlight, literally and compositionally, the image invites us to consider the overlooked: the people who maintain the environments we pass through, to consider their thoughts in such moments of solitude. There’s a quiet nobility in the act of cleaning, framed with as much care as this portrait. The setting: a hyper-clean, overlit, empty transit space, speaks to modern isolation, automation, and the liminal spaces we occupy between destinations. This piece is a masterclass in how restraint and simplicity can produce depth and provoke introspection. It asks the viewer to slow down, to notice the unnoticed, and to find meaning in the mundane.

whenever you’re losing faith in NFTs, just visit @AdamWeitsman’s gallery in opensea to marvel at his huge collection of grails after that, you’d probably restore some confidence back into NFTs happy birthday to NFT’s biggest patron 🥳

Some of the first NFTs came from physical art. Blue, Pink and Yellow by Marisol Vengas were made from mixed materials through various stages of collaboration. Part of the process included strangers meeting at a California café to color in different parts. The artworks were originally created in 2016, and selected by Curio Cards to feature in the first art show on Ethereum, launched May 9 2017. Each incredible piece is physically available as a 1/1, while their NFT counterparts have sold at Christie's and Sotheby's auction house as part of a full set of Curio Cards.

SO FUCKING CRINGE 🇮🇱🤡 An Israeli diplomat completely lost it on live TV after accusing a journalist in India of wearing a dress resembling the Palestinian flag colours. The journalist destroyed him.

Calling it now

BREAKING: CNN has released a montage highlighting repeated statements by President Trump claiming that a deal with Iran is close. According to CNN, he has made similar claims at least 39 times since the start of the conflict, despite no final agreement being reached.

American consumers are now facing 7% mortgage rates, 4.2% inflation, and a 30% loss in the purchasing power of the US Dollar since 2020. Meanwhile, US CPI inflation continues to follow a similar trajectory as the late 1970s. Will history repeat itself?

The reward of collecting Historical NFTs is endless. No other NFTs are as rich in lore and innovation.

Agreed on possible weekly RSI bullish divergence if BTC price bases around 200 SMA and closes around it this week, with next week and the week after closing higher. The monthly RSI however is potentially setting up for bearish divergence!🚨👀 There’s a lot happening in macro economics this week and in the next couple of weeks, so advice to everyone is to be prepared for either scenario (BTC bottoming around here for the next few weeks/months; or, heading lower).

😹 This guy is hilarious. 😹 With all his essays, he is acting like a shiller the whole time. “HYPE to $150” he says last week, then sells at half that. I attended TOKEN2049 2025 in Singapore to listen to Arthur (and others) speak. (Had lots of respect for his thoughts and well written essays.) After hearing and seeing him on stage though, I soon realised that his calls don’t mean much. So here is my Public Service Announcement: I’ve been treating Hayes like Kramer for some time now, and it’s been working. When Hayes says buy, seriously thinking about DCA exiting out of positions, and vice versa. Best wishes. BTW, I don’t have any position in HYPE. Will look to buy lower though.

⚡️Schiff is defending a dead monetary map. His entire argument depends on treating Bitcoin as an isolated object and asking whether it has value in a vacuum. That is the wrong frame. Monetary assets do not become important because they produce cash flow. They become important because the surrounding system creates a need for coordination, collateral, settlement, escape, and trust-minimized ownership. Gold did not win because it produced yield. The dollar did not win because paper had intrinsic value. Treasuries did not win because debt is sacred. They won because a system formed around them. Bitcoin is now forming a system around itself. ETF rails. Custody rails. Brokerage access. Stablecoins. Tokenization. Treasury enforcement. CLARITY. Strategic reserve language. Corporate balance sheets. Bitcoin income wrappers. MSTR credit machinery. Prediction markets. Sovereign optionality. Sanctions pressure. Capital controls. Fiscal decay. That is the thing Schiff refuses to see. He sees price speculation and says “no value.” The deeper structure says Bitcoin is being pulled into the core of financial power because the old system keeps producing the exact problems Bitcoin solves. Debt keeps rising. Money keeps getting politicized. Banking access keeps becoming conditional. Sanctions keep expanding. Trust in sovereign balance sheets keeps weakening. Neutral collateral keeps becoming more important. Digital financial rails keep swallowing everything. Bitcoin sits at the intersection of all of that. Schiff’s mistake is not skepticism. Skepticism is useful. His mistake is category failure. He keeps judging Bitcoin like a bad stock, when it is competing to become digital collateral in a world where trust itself is fragmenting. That is why he sounds right during crashes. Crashes expose fraud, leverage, scams, false belief, bad tokens, dumb money, and overpromised narratives. Schiff points at the wreckage and says the whole structure is fake. But the wreckage is the purification layer. The internet bubble did not kill the internet. It killed the garbage built on top of it before the real architecture took over. Crypto is going through the same separation. Garbage dies. Leverage dies. Retail mania dies. Fake decentralization dies. Bitcoin survives. Stablecoins survive. Tokenization survives. Prediction markets survive. Custody survives. Regulated rails survive. The U.S. does not lose by becoming the crypto capital if it captures the surviving rails. It wins the jurisdictional layer. It owns the compliance perimeter, the custody stack, the ETF market, the legal definitions, the stablecoin dollar network, the institutional distribution rails, and the tax/reporting architecture. That is power. Schiff thinks America is becoming the bagholder. The deeper read: America is trying to become the operating system. That does not mean every token matters. Most do not. It does not mean every crypto holder wins. Many will get destroyed. It does not mean the process is clean. It will be ugly, political, surveilled, manipulated, and full of fraud before the surviving structure hardens. But Bitcoin’s role is not disappearing. The system is surrounding it. That is the tell. Worthless assets get ignored. Threatening assets get attacked. Useful strategic assets get absorbed. Bitcoin is being absorbed. Schiff’s gold framework cannot process that because gold already won its social authorization centuries ago. He treats old belief as reality and new belief as fantasy. That is the blind spot. The real future is harsher than Bitcoin utopians wanted and far more bullish than Schiff can admit. Bitcoin will not remain a pure outside-the-system rebellion asset. It is becoming institutional collateral inside the system. That transition will feel like betrayal to purists and like failure to bears. It is neither. It is power discovering how to use the thing it could not kill.

🧠 Sheesh! People really need to engage brain. Saylor sold 32 BTC. Why? Small enough amount to prove BTC has utility and liquidity. That’s it. @saylor next time you sell to prove this point, please do it on Bitcoin Pizza day. Cheers.🥃
