So it looks like Pravesh Biyani is starting a Substack. That's about all we know for now, the site is basically a placeholder saying it's coming soon. I'm guessing we'll hear more about what he's planning to write about once it launches. For now, it's just a waiting game. I'm a bit curious to see what he'll be covering, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. No other details are available yet, so we'll have to keep an eye out for any updates. That's all for now, not much to go on, but I'll keep you posted if I hear anything else.

Hey, I wanted to share something with you. George Assad, a well-known name in the crypto space, is launching his own Substack. We're talking about a guy who's been around the block a few times, with a strong following and a keen eye for market trends. He's been building up to this moment for a while now, and I'm curious to see what he's got in store. The thing is, his Substack is going to be focused on providing in-depth analysis and insights on the crypto market. He's got a reputation for being spot on with his predictions, and I think this could be a great resource for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Hey, I just got a sec to catch up with you. So, I was looking into some XRPL news and I came across a site that's launching soon. Apparently, it's called Kevin Cage | XRPL & RWA Insights. I'm not entirely sure what RWA stands for, but I'm guessing it's related to the Ripple ecosystem. Anyway, the site requires JavaScript to run, so you'll need to turn that on or unblock scripts if you're getting blocked. I'm not sure what to expect from it, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.

It looks like we've got a new site on the horizon, and it's called The Stark Perception. The site is being developed by Nava Stark, and that's about all we know for now. The site itself isn't live yet, but it does have a landing page that asks you to turn on JavaScript to run correctly. Not a lot to go on, but it seems like Nava Stark is working on something, and we'll just have to wait and see what The Stark Perception is all about. There's no indication of what kind of content or services the site will offer, but the name suggests it might be some kind of opinion or analysis platform. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see what develops. For now, it's just a teaser, and we're left wondering what Nava Stark has in store for us. No action to take here, just something to keep on your radar if you're interested in seeing what The Stark Perception turns out to be.

Hey, I wanted to give you a quick update. Pauline's Substack is launching a new project called MaxDividends, and it's looking like they're gearing up to drop some significant information. I've seen a 1.5 million dollar allocation for the project, which is a pretty big deal. They're not sharing too much just yet, but it's clear they're putting some serious resources behind it. The MaxDividends team is known for their in-depth research on dividend-paying stocks, and it sounds like they're going to be applying that same level of scrutiny to the crypto space. I'm not sure what to expect, but if you're interested in dividend investing or just want to stay on top of what's happening in the space, this could be worth keeping an eye on. I'm not sure when the full launch is happening, but it looks like they're getting close. I'd keep an eye on Pauline's Substack over the next few days to see what they announce.
