Happy hump day gang 🐫,

#1 BuzzClout️
Y’all know the drill at this point. Let’s turn to @designal for a round-up of which creator coins were gettin’ the most (and the least) love today ❤️:
#2 Ubiquitous UX drops: Native video of all shapes and sizes 🎥
What’s next on the UX drops front for DeSo? While we’ve been tracking updates re: native video for what feels like a week now, the functionality is definitely getting closer 🔜.
Earlier this week, @ReadyPlayerOne did some good sleuthing to keep us updated with respect to one of the questions the core devs are mulling for this update 🕵️. Namely… what should the max file size be 🤔?
Plus, we’re getting more and more details about all the different platforms that will be supported. The breaking-news-boys of bitclout.com, @Krassenstein, let us all know that Twitch will be among the options users have for native video uploads. Considering how massive the world of streaming on Twitch is and how integrated monetization already is into the ethos of the Twitch ecosystem… this could be a big one!
So… which nodes stand to benefit the most from video integrations? Well, the world of adult entertainment 🍆🍑 comes to mind. Oh, what’s that @Pinkstar? Y’all are just about ready to get the party started? Nice timing ;)
Beyond video? As our dedicated readers will know by now, not an issue goes by without a @tijn cameo 😂. What’s @tijn been up to? Oh not much, just making it easier to spread the DeSo gospel on other social platforms with better embeds. Time to show off those DeSo NFTs everywhere!
#3 The cloutifieds: one $DESO coin to rule them all 👑
While congress seriously considers minting a $1 trillion coin, the DeSo community is in search of its own coin to rule all other coins. ICYMI, the core team (with a lil’ help from @FastFreddie and yours truly 🤌🏻) is looking for a champion coin design as part of the first official community contests on bitclout.com 🔥
We’ve already seen so many stellar designs ✨ out there. Look at the detail on this bad boy for crying out loud!!!
In fact, there’s so many great entries that we need more time to choose a winner (and to let the creativity keep rollin’)! Don’t 💤 now folks, we’re officially extending the deadline from tonight at midnight to Saturday at midnight!
Haven’t submitted your design yet? Think you can take one more even stronger crack at it? Waddya waitin’ for? One coin will reign supreme soon … we can’t wait to see whose it will be 👑👑👑.
#4 Projects in focus 🔎: @Desomon —Gotta clout ’em all!
Been living under a rock? That’s cool, sounds tranquil. Well, it’s a good time to rear your head — NFTs are absolutely mooning across all blockchains, including DeSo. Especially considering the relative small user base of DeSo and bitclout.com, the amount of volume and the high floor prices that NFT collections are commanding on bitclout.com are impressive 🤯. The latest project that’s absolutely rockin’ it? It’s @Desomon, a collection of delightful pixelated monsters that have been dropping as pfp-style NFTs on DeSo.
The only thing harder than winning an auction for a @Desomon NFT (each NFT is sold to the first bidder, so you better have a fast trigger finger 💨) would be choosing which character you’d want most in your collection:
And if you’re looking to swoop up a @Desomon on secondary markets? Well your wallet better run deep. For instance, the @Desomon we showed you above? He can be yours for the handsome fee of 20 $DESO (or like, $3k). What’ll it be? A ‘real’ dog from a breeder, or a good boi NFT? 🐶
Better yet — the legend @happy_penguin picked up the first ever 001 Desomon from @clayoglesby on the secondary market for a cool 41 DESO! Sheesh. 🚀
Finally, with spooky season officially coming up 🎃, we dare say @Desomon will continue to be a fan favorite, and that the Halloween spirit will infuse lots of other projects too. Watch this space, there may be another leg up yet in NFTs before we’ve all had enough of them. 📈
#5 Around the horn: rapid-fire updates from across DeSo 🔫
What else has been shaking across DeSo? Oh so much! Let’s do a quick around the horn to make sure we cover so more of the heavy hitters 🥊:
While we all wait for Coinbase? DeSo is busy getting listed on other global exchanges 📈. The latest exchange to join blockchain.com and AscenDEX Global? Everyone give a warm welcome to HotBit and @HotBit_news 👋!
Wondering where in the world @nader is? Well, we’re not sure today, but last night he was hangin’ w/ @drkatcohen at the dinner she won by purchasing the utility NFT that @diamondhands auctioned off for the purpose. Looks like they had a jolly good time together, too 🤗. Got any hot gos you can share with us @drkatcohen? We’re all ears 👂:
Last but certainly not least (in fact, this one’s probably the most dope thing in this issue), huge shout out to @Aikon, who teased a new DeSo-integrated game on Monday that took bitclout.com by storm 🚀. This looks absolutely insane — if you check out one thing from this issue, it’s gotta be this post!
Bing bang boom. Another edition down! We march on to edition #100. Stay cool out there y’all 🤙. We’ll see ya again on Friday for our happy hour 🍻.
❤,
The @BitsTODAY boys
