🤓 All You Need to Know About The LARP Pass
There's been a lot of larp in the markets recently…
From Bitboy & Ben.Eth’s microcap “scams” to the #FireGaryGensler campaign (much needed) and to the drama of CZ selling BTC to protect BNB’s $220 liquidation price at all costs.
… but there is no LARP more LARPier than this.
The LARP pass, aka your golden ticket to a “Lifetime Access to Research Pass.”
A message from blocmates founder Grant:
We have always wanted to shape this Brand? Thing? Community? Whatever it is… in the way that I would like to digest information about the crypto space.
Taking inspiration from the early days of Vice, Barstool Sports, The Athletic etc. we want you to enjoy digesting the work we put out there. Too many places release stuff that either makes you die from cringe overload or will bore you to death. Either way, it ain’t great.
We’ve got the new blocmates website coming with research reports, how-to’s, project reviews and all the stuff you’ve come to expect from us.
We will take on the crypto news and challenge the status quo as it’s boring, corrupt and needs a refresh. Same blocmates tone, but news…
There’s a tonne of other sh*t but I won't bore you to death… so just enjoy the LARP.
big love!
What is a LARP pass?
The new blocmates website will still feature ALL of the same free content but The LARP pass will give you a back door, behind-the-scenes look into crypto through the blocmates research portal.
Here's a mini sneak peek of what's included:
Actionable insights
Yield farming strategies
Honest token reviews
What we are hearing behind the scenes
On-chain wallet analysis
Fatual airdrop strategies
Private videos including The Weekly Larp
Early access to whitelists, beta testing and airdrops
And, most importantly, real-life blocmates events held around the globe where we may even break out proper cool snapbacks, hoodies and tees.
The community has already had early access to Wen Llamas NFT mint, Savvy DeFi boosted IFO rewards and a bunch of beta whitelists including the HXRO network and nftperp.
How do I get a LARP pass?
Grab a fren, flip your snapback backwards and prepare yourself as you go on a journey to collect the 4 elusive Quest for Larp badges through Tide Protocol… Kinda like Ash Ketchum running around Canto… sorry KANTO.
Part 1 is live on Tide Protocol… you have 12 more days, anon.
Our Take
Yeah bit of a different newsletter today, tbh. I can’t be dealing with another LSD-Fi thread, newsletter or shill…
That’s why we wanted to give YOU, The Ape Enclosure community the early low down on what's coming.
PS… here's your ticket to the back door of Discord 🤫🤫🤫
PPS… if you’ve made it this far there is already a confirmed airdrop AND event being planned for holders 🤫🤫🤫

👨🏻💼 What the FED?!
Clearly, Bitcoin didn’t like the news as it fell off a cliff.
Today, the Fed said that they expect inflation to hit 2.5% at the end of 2024.
However, they reiterated their view that 2% inflation is their target.
They don’t see inflation below 2% for at least another 1.5 years.
The Fed may have paused, but elevated interest rates are here… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
