NEWSLETTERS

Beehiiv just released new AI features and they are gamechanging for newsletter operators:

Introducing beehiiv AI ✨
Coming live from Uranus...

You can generate new content from scratch using the AI writer:

But the really significant part is being able to rewrite and improve your existing text, or other people’s summaries…

Hey @allnick@_thesignal I'm obviously not going to publish this in my newsletter today, but to test @beehiiv's new AI 'Improve Writing' feature, I copied the top story from @niftyportal's Daily Digest and selected a 'funny tone' of voice and it generated this in one click... 🤯

As well as completing your sentences for you, it can fix spelling and grammar.

This massively reduces the amount of editing required to run a newsletter, therefore increasing profit and asset value. Indeed, it’s likely going to make it not necessary for most newsletter operators to have a separate editor.

DOMAINS

There’s no suffering from anxiety about taking this six figure sale announced today:

Just sold for $100,000! Congrats to seller and buyer!

And if you’re into .org (although can’t say I am) there’s cultivate.org up at auction on Sav.com currently at $485 from 18 bids with 4 days remaining.

NFTS (& POKER)

Following on from last week’s story about Pudgy Penguins, I came across this tweet on which founders and VCs have pudgies as their PFP on Twitter:

Ever wondered which high profile figures are rocking pudgies as pfps?
I did some stalking and aggregated a list of founders / VCs / execs that are part of the huddle
There are definitely some surprises in here so check it out

Of course we have a number of crypto founders such as Alex Svanevik from Nansen but also startups and investors such as RJ Pittman of Matterport, Joey Krug of Founders Fund.

But my personal favourite is the pro poker player Fedor Holz who is ranked #10 on the all time money list on The Hendon Mob with $38,780,113 in tournament earnings:

Fedor is not new to rocking a pudgy, and NFTs and poker came together last year in this awesome piece of art by Froggy that Fedor has as his twitter background:

An absolute masterpiece.

The biggest poker tournament is currently running in Las Vegas, the WSOP Main Event, and I’ve been really getting into the action this year with my PokerGo subscription. There’s currently just 149 players remaining from a record breaking 10,043 entries creating a prize pool of $93,399,900 which is equivalent to the market cap of both Pudgy Penguins and Moonbirds:

The market cap (or prize pool) for the @WSOP main event is approaching $100M (10K players playing $10K each).
It's larger than the market cap of @moonbirds ($33M) and @pudgypenguins ($65M) NFT collections combined
