Hope you have a lovely weekend and that this week's dump brings you value. ❤

This week in crypto #15:



Burned: 352,108 ETH
Rewards: 661,762 ETH
Tips: 92,038 ETH
Net Issuance: 309,654 ETH
Net Reduction: 53.2%

Note: I decided to pass on the gitcoin thing. This is a public good kind of service, and honestly asking for donations over it feels cashgrabby to me. I do it for y'all, no need for compensation or anything. ❤
