🗿 Is It Time to Delete Coinbase??
Hear this cringey apology from the Coinbase Chief Legal Officer...
Today’s No FOMO newsletter is brought to you by…
GM. Never a dull day in crypto, they say. This week, another memecoin surged 5,000+%, Coinbase had a PR nightmare, and Google released a potentially industry-killing AI tool. Let’s dive in.
But first… here’s a picture of Elon Musk merged with Milady:

Delete Coinbase??
Coinbase totally pissed off the crypto world by relating the $PEPE coin movement to an alt-right hate group. Pepe lovers (and most of the internet) feel like it’s a total mischaracterization and overstatement.
How can you group a vibing-internet-movement with a fringe group of hater losers, ser? It’s FUD. Plain and simple.
Well, they must have felt the heat, because Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal came out on Twitter quickly Thursday to apologize after#DELETECOINBASE dominated our feed for 24 hours.
Here’s what Coinbase had to say:
We screwed up and we are sorry.
Yesterday we shared an overview of the $pepe meme coin to provide a fact-based picture of a trending topic. This did not provide the whole picture of the history of the meme and we apologize to the community.

Will the hate for Coinbase make it through the weekend?
Google’s new AI search may eliminate hundreds of media companies
Milady just an Elon fad or something bigger? Probably nothing. Like actually nothing.
For the first day in months, NFT sellers had positive returns yesterday.
This was entirely due to gains on Milady sales.
We discuss this chart and lots more on today's show:
