Still Not The Edit Button, But Whatever: Twitter Circles Now Available To All Users
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Twitter / Twitter Circles Twitter Circles, the social media’s attempt at a “close friends” feature, is rolling out to all users. If you’re one of those Twitter users who hits the send button on hot takes and controversial opinions, Twitter Circles is for you.

Why DeFi, GameFi and SocialFi are horizontals in the Metaverse
The future of value creation and exchange will know no national boundaries and jurisdictions. They will all be ecosystem specific. Therefore, all use cases need to be ecosystem-specific. The future for DeFi, GameFi and SocialFi may be embedded. But, this embedding can only be implemented in a well-oiled ecosystem. The Metaverse that brings these user functions together will not only have experiential elements but also utilitarian and gamification elements. For instance, a metaverse in which DeFi can be applicable will need to have opportunities for microtransactions. A metaverse in which SocialFi can be embedded will need to have an ecosystem that has creators and consumers contributing, being compensated and acknowledged for these contributions. Let us now look at what we could see as emb...

Dave Portnoy’s SafeMoon position is down 94%, claims he’s being sued by project
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has watched his investment in SafeMoon (SAFEMOON) crash by over 94%, proving to crypto enthusiasts that he is, in fact, capable of hodling during the bear market.
