So yeah...we're all about those Gms. 😎

Here’s the scoop for today:

• 💰 $1000 Crypto Phone

• 🎉 eToro x Twitter = Crypto Party

📱 $1000 Crypto Phone Is FINALLY here!

Every time you think Solana is dead in the waters…

…it rises up like the Undertaker from WWE. 😅

After every monumental low point for Solana, it has risen up like a mfer:

• FTX Crash

• Serum Crash (Solana’s biggest DeFi protocol)

• Constant Network Downtime

Solana and it’s community had the guts to get back up and keep moving forward!

That’s why it’s Rocky’s fav blockchain. 😎

And now while the rest of the chains are focusing and building on Zero Knowledge, Solana said—

“F*** that! We’re going MOBILE!” 📱

Not just any mobile but a $1000 mobile!

Yup.

Solana is finally rolling out the flagship phones they announced last year— a.k.a the Saga. 🔥

And the doodhwala is going full Marques Brownlee to review this phone.

We are doing this based on other reviews. We don’t actually have the phone. We super broke. 🥲

So…Let’s start with…

🛠 Tech Specs a.k.a The Nerdy Stuff

Here are all the important tech specs for you phone nerds out there:

OS → Android v13 (yup, it’s an Android phone)

RAM → 12GB

Size → 6.67 inches (does size even matter?)

Storage → 512GB

Camera → 50 Megapixels (it’s a triangle btw)

Screen Type → OLED Screen

Other cool-ish features: 👇

• 5G enabled

• Wireless Charging

• Dust and Water Resistant (helpful during bear market)

So, it’s slightly better than your average phone but maybe not AS good as your iPhones and Galaxy S whatever. 🤷‍♂️

Now onto the SPECIAL part…

⛓ The Web3 Element

This is the part that makes the Saga better than iPhones and Galaxys, at least for crypto bros.

👝 Wallet

The Saga comes inbuilt with something called a Seed Vault.

Wtf is that?

Basically, a safe place to save your wallet seed phrase…in your phone.

Apparently, even the Android OS cannot access it. ❌

It’s just you and ONLY you.

Not bad.

Making seed phrase readily accessible without worrying about security.

It’s definitely better than me carrying it around on a piece of paper in my jacket. 😅

📲 Dapps

Your regular phones might have boring ‘ol Apps in them but this crypto phone has Dapps in them.

Dapps = Decentralized Apps.

❌ iPhone has a pre-installed Music app?

✅ Saga has a pre-installed Audius Dapp.

❌ Pre-installed Calculator app?

✅ Pre-installed Phantom Wallet Dapp.

❌ Pre-installed AppStore?

✅ Pre-installed NFT marketplace Dapp

Yup.

Saga has certainly got the D in it, through and through. (D = Dawg. Get your head out the gutter)

Even the camera app has a web3 element to it. 😎

How tf? 🤨

Whatever picture you click, you can immediately mint it as an NFT with the Minty Fresh dapp.

brb finding all my “artistic” blurry pics and minting them as NFTs 😎

So then…what’s it gonna be?

Saga— GMI 👍 or NGMI 👎 ?

Given all the info we have rn, we honestly think Saga is GMI. 👍

At the end of the day, this phone is every crypto bro’s wet dream.

You can do everything you did with your regular phone PLUS the extra web3 stuff! 🔥

• Keep your seed phrase safe and accessible ✅

• Call your mom when you’re in trouble ✅

• Pump and dump tokens on the go ✅

All those times, you wish you had your wallet with you to do a transaction safely and had to rush home…

…now you can do it with your phone. 📱

And this is only the FIRST version.

It's only gonna get better from here— UX-wise, web3-wise and utility-wise! 🚀

But is it worth $1000? We just have to wait and see. 🤷‍♂️

📈 eToro x Twitter = Crypto Party 🎉

Remember that dope collab between Rihanna & Calvin Harris? 💎

Well, the eToro + Twitter collab is gonna be doper than Snoop Dogg's mornings. IYKYK 😉

That’s right!

eToro, the social investing platform, is partnering with Twitter to bring crypto trading DIRECTLY to your fingertips. 💥

And this is happening on a GLOBAL scale! 🌍

So no matter where you are, you'll be able to access this amazing feature called $Cashtags. 🌏

Wait, $Cashtags are now new!

Before, when searching a $Cashtag on Twitter, users would only see live price charts for a limited range of assets.

But now, we're talkin' MAJOR expansion, like Real Madrid's trophy cabinet! 🏆

Let's break it down real quick:

When you search for $Cashtags like – $TSLA or $BTC – on Twitter, you'll now see real-time prices for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other assets.

And guess what?

You'll be directed to the eToro to invest in ‘em.

It's like having a direct hotline to the crypto world! 📞

Twitter's $Cashtags already show live price charts for some financial assets, but eToro's about to change the game.

Since Twitter added pricing data for $Cashtags last December, they've seen a staggering 420 million searches… 😲

…with the top 3 being:

1️⃣ Tesla ($TSLA)

2️⃣ Bitcoin ($BTC)

3️⃣ S&P 500 ETF ($SPX)

This $Cashtags expansion falls perfectly in line with Elon Musk's grand vision of integrating financial services into Twitter.

He's on a mission to create a "super app" that does it all! 💪

(maybe even make the doodhwala's tweets funnier 😭)

And we know Elon's no stranger to the CRYPTO scene.

He even wants Twitter's payment system to handle both crypto and fiat currencies. 💰

So, what does it mean for Twitter users like you and me?

Well, it's like having an all-access pass to the wild world of crypto trading right from your Twitter feed.

This eToro 🤝 Twitter collab is gonna make Twitter THE spot for traders who tweet and tweeters who trade. 🐦

Just like Blur rocked the NFT market, we might see a wild ride in crypto trading.

So, buckle up and get ready to surf the crypto wave like never before.

As they say, "In the world of crypto, the early bird catches the Bitcoin." 😉

📈 Chaach and Charts: Web3 Gaming - 'PAUSED'

Web3 gaming!

It's like the next big thing, right?

W R O N G.

Because it seems the web3 gaming funding train has slowed down. 😲

Let’s hit the stats real quick:

🗓️ Q4 2022: $481.8M 💰

🗓️ Q1 2023: $335.1M 📉

That’s a 30% D R O P.

What's up with this funding freeze? 🥶

1️⃣ Could it be the market's saying, "Hold up, let's see how these games play out before we pump more $$$ in?" 🤔

2️⃣ Or maybe the investors got a lil' spooked by some recent gaming fails? 👻

3️⃣ Or is this just a regular ol' market cycle, and we're about to see another upswing? 🎢

Whatever the reason, it's worth keeping an eye on how Web3 gaming evolves in the coming months.

Will these virtual worlds score some serious points and attract more moolah? 💰

Or are we gonna see more "Game Over" screens? 🕹️

What's your take on this funding fumble?

Hit REPLY and let's talk gaming and crypto! 🗣️💬
