Here's what you need to know:
Twitter launches NFT profile picture verification
For those who “right-click & save”, your time is up.
Choose your favourite NFT, and your profile picture – typically enclosed within a circle – will get a nifty new hexagonal border.
If a pesky right-clicker tries to use your NFT as their profile picture without first buying the token, they will still be able to use the image, but they will be stuck with the classic circle frame.
For now, NFT verification is available only for users with Twitter Blue, the company’s $2.99-a-month subscription service.
For us NFT fans, it may be a price worth paying; that’s like, what – 0.001 ETH?

Digital vaults are now going to be a thing
Holding anything valuable (like your Pokemon cards) in your house is a huge pain. They can get lost, burnt, your dog ate them, etc.
But now, with crypto, you can send it to a vault and also sell it digitally and transfer ownership (and sell it fractionally).
Two companies recently announced they’re doing this and we think it’s one of those super smart, innovative, no-brainer ideas. Check them out:
StockX and Otis House

Bankhaus von der Heydt was founded in 1754. In October 2021, it partnered with Fireblocks to offer crypto services to its clients. The bank is one of the first regulated institutions in Germany to offer digital asset services.

Crypto lingo of the day
Green Dildos:
"Ahh I love to wake up in the field of green dildos" is not what your parents want to hear. You should quickly explain that it means that the market went green as the dildos represent the green candlestick graph.
